Today's the day! Ready, set, go! Geocaching! Find that Treasure!

Join us in the Hunt! Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices.

Join us for a Geocaching Adventure led by Doug Pelham, President of the Farmington Land Trust!

The Farmington Land Trust is sponsoring it's final "Stroll on the Land” for 2012. Doug Pelham, Farmington Land Trust President, will demonstrate Geocaching, the real-world treasure hunting game, and lead the group to several Geocaches located on the historic Carey Pasture parcel on today, October 11th, at 5:30 pm.

Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the Geocache (container) hidden at that location.  The Geocache contains a log book and small toys and trinkets that children can trade.  Please note that the trail is steep in spots but ends at an overlook with a stunning view of the Farmington River valley.
